Engineering solutions for a sustainable planet
The Master of Science in Earth Resources
Engineering (ERE) seeks effective solutions to
complex and multidisciplinary problems,
reconciling the concern for the environment with
the needs of our global industrialized society
Earth Resources Engineering@DICAM
Earth Resources Engineering@DICAM
The central theme of ERE is the conscientious management of
our finite resources:
• Minerals
• Fuels
• Energy
• Water
• Land and soil
• Waste

Obtaining Credits - I
• Each teaching activity in the ERE curriculum is classified by name and type
(mandatory or elective – normal class or laboratory) and number of Credits
• In normal classes, there is a final exam
• You have at least 6 chances each year to pass the exam
• Each professor defines the rules for passing and the type of exam (some
professors may ask you to take tests, or complete homework, or develop reports
during the class)
• Each professor defines the dates of the exams
• In normal classes, you obtain a grade between 18 and 30 (honors are
possible) if you pass
• In laboratory classes, you usually obtain a pass / fail grade
• The successful grades are averaged over credits. Only successful grades
are considered in CGPA Cumulative Grade Point Average
CGPA = Σ (Grade * Credits)each exam / Σ Credits of all the exams
• CGPA defines the grade of your final graduation and it is used to rank
students when applying for grants!
Obtaining Credits - II
For the final examination you can complete a research project:
- at our Department DICAM
- at a partner university in Europe (see Erasmus+, double degrees, etc.)
- - in a company in Italy or abroad
